海外文化:老外的quot;亲戚关系quot;也复杂(cousinandrem
</p><p>我们中国人亲属称谓的复杂是众所周知的，不但有父系和母系的区别，还有南北的地域差别。叔叔和舅舅是不同的，姥姥和外婆是相同的，这些通常会让老外一个头两个大。我们总以为，英语中的亲属称谓很简单，不管叔叔舅舅姑父姨夫，都是<span word="uncle">uncle</span>，不管祖父祖母外公外婆，都是<span word="grandparents">grandparents</span>。但是如果一个人跳出来说，我是你的<span word="third">third</span> <span word="cousin">cousin</span>, <span word="twice">twice</span> <span word="removed">removed</span>，你知道你们是什么关系吗？</p><p> 通常情况下，老外不会用这么复杂的词来介绍一位家庭成员，不管是<span word="first">first</span> <span word="cousin">cousin</span>还是<span word="Second">Second</span> <span word="Cousin">Cousin</span>，介绍的时候，说，这是我<span word="cousin">cousin</span>就可以了。不过如果你向别人很详细的介绍你的家族史或者家谱的时候，最好知道要用什么合适的词来介绍你的亲戚。下面要说的就是我们不太会提到的一些亲属称谓了：</p><p> <span word="Cousin">Cousin</span> (<span word="a">a</span>.<span word="k">k</span>.<span word="a">a</span> "<span word="first">first</span> <span word="cousin">cousin</span>")</p><p> <span word="Your">Your</span> <span word="first">first</span> <span word="cousins">cousins</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="two">two</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="grandparents">grandparents</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="you">you</span>. <span word="In">In</span> <span word="other">other</span> <span word="words">words</span>, <span word="they">they</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="children">children</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="aunts">aunts</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="uncles">uncles</span>.</p><p> 你的<span word="first">first</span> <span word="cousin">cousin</span>是你家人中和你有同样的祖父母或者外祖父母的人。换句话说，他们是你父母的亲兄弟亲姐妹的孩子。</p><p> <span word="Second">Second</span> <span word="Cousin">Cousin</span></p><p> <span word="Your">Your</span> <span word="second">second</span> <span word="cousins">cousins</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="people">people</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="your">your</span> <span word="family">family</span> <span word="who">who</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="great">great</span>-<span word="grandparents">grandparents</span> <span word="as">as</span> <span word="you">you</span>., <span word="but">but</span> <span word="not">not</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="same">same</span> <span word="grandparents">grandparents</span>.</p>
